The distance from the center of a ferris wheel to a passenger seat is 12 m. What centripetal acceleration does a passenger experience when the wheel's angular speed is 0. 50 rad/s?

Sagot :

A passenger experiences centripetal acceleration when there is circular motion around a center. The centripetal acceleration is 3 m/s².

What is centripetal acceleration?

The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration acting when a body is moving on a circular path. It is acted towards the center of the path. Centripetal acceleration is the product of the square of angular speed and radius of path.

a =ω²r

Given the radius of path r is 12 m and angular speed ω is 0.50 rad/s².

The resulting centripetal acceleration is

a = (0.50)²×12

a = 3 m/s²

Thus, the centripetal acceleration is 3 m/s².
